Nikon BOLT scope

Post by 76chevy »

Hi Guys,

Just put a Nikon Bolt scope on my Grizzly.

WOW! This thing is so much brighter and more clear than the stock scope. Great scope on a great crossbow. I think I will love it in low light early and late hunting situations.

Wondered WHY Excalibur has not partnered with a great scope company like Nikon or Hawke to offer a high end package and put a high end scope on the bow from the factory?

That is the million dollar?? Lol

I would rather see a bare bow option so I don't have to buy a scope and arrows that I won't need...
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

I agree with that. I would buy the bare bow option as well. Good to have the choice

Why source lower quality scopes to put on the best crossbow on the market when Nikon, Vortex, Hawke, etc are making world class glass for crossbows?

I agree! I was looking at one for my 350 but went with the hawke xb1 because the speed ring and illumination for just a few extra dollars! Looked like a great scope though.

I like the Nikon

The Diablo bolts work great for me.

Wish there was a bare bones option too.
